INVENTORY FORM B CONTINUATION SHEET LEXINGTON 346 CONCORD AVE. <br /> MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. <br /> 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD,BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 <br /> 2210 <br /> 346 Concord Avenue demonstrates Lexington's transition from an agricultural economy to a residential suburb in the early 20 <br /> th <br /> century. Land at the southeast quadrant of Concord Avenue and Waltham Street is identified as belonging to M. O'Brien as <br /> early as 1898, and several houses are standing in the vicinity by 1906, but they appear not to include what is now#346. <br /> The 1899 directory and 1900 U.S. census show Martin O'Brien, a farmer born in Ireland, living in a house on Waltham Street, <br /> near Concord Avenue, with his wife Julia, two daughters, two sons (both farm laborers), and three young German men also <br /> working as farm laborers. Between 1920 and 1926, William and Ruth Greer purchased and moved into the house at this <br /> address, and are identified here with their three young children in 1930. Both William and Ruth were born in Ireland; William <br /> worked as a chauffeur for a private family. The Greer family occupied the house at least through 1945. <br /> The house was subsequently occupied by Robert McCarthy, who worked in the post office, and his wife Betty, who lived here at <br /> least between 1955 and 1965. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES <br /> Historic maps and atlases: Walling 1853; Beers 1875; Walker 1889; Stadly 1898; Walker 1906; Sanborn 1908, 1918, 1927, <br /> 1935, 1935/1950. <br /> Lexington Directories: 1899, 1906, 1908-09, 1913, 1922, 1926, 1934, 1936 <br /> Lexington List of Persons: 1935, 1945, 1955, 1965. <br /> Massachusetts Historical Commission.
